"Hello! I'm Dr. Julian Rome.

I have a PhD in Philosophy from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where I also completed graduate coursework in English, Comparative Literature, and Classics.

I have over 10 years of teaching and tutoring experience for students ranging from junior high to graduate school. My approach is encouraging and conversational, aimed at fostering greater understanding and motivation in the students I work with.

I tutor English (including ESL), Communications, Philosophy, Literature, Political Science, and more. I also tutor for English subject test prep (or the GRE Verbal section) and have experience proofreading and editing. See more about my experience below!

GRADUATE

I have tutored Master's, PhD, and EdD students, including providing feedback on conference abstracts and papers; tutoring for seminar papers; and proofreading dissertations. I also worked for the University of Michigan Writing Center, where I provided feedback on dissertation chapter drafts in the humanities and social sciences.

UNDERGRADUATE

At the University of Michigan, I taught first-year writing, intro to philosophy, intro and upper-level Ethics, Ancient Greek Philosophy, and upper-level comparative literature.

I worked in a University of Memphis tutoring center as a tutor for English, Philosophy, History, Communications, and French. I also worked as an academic mentor at the University of Michigan, helping students learn study and organizational skills and strategies.

At the University of Michigan, I won an Outstanding Graduate Student Instructor award, a competitive university-wide award for excellence in teaching.

HIGH SCHOOL-LEVEL

In Paris, France, I completed a teaching internship at a local school, working as a teaching assistant for five English language classes. At a public high school in Memphis, I worked as a teaching assistant for three English classes. I also work full-time for a nonprofit organization that provides educational support to students from disadvantaged backgrounds." less...
